Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy (Book I: Chaos Rising) by Timothy Zahn Book Summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Discover Thrawn’s origins within the Chiss Ascendancy in the first book in an epic new Star Wars trilogy from bestselling author Timothy Zahn.

Beyond the edge of the galaxy lies the Unknown Regions: chaotic, uncharted, and near impassable, with hidden secrets and dangers in equal measure. And nestled within its swirling chaos is the Ascendancy, home to the enigmatic Chiss and the Nine Ruling Families that lead them.

The peace of the Ascendancy, a beacon of calm and stability, is shattered after a daring attack on the Chiss capital that leaves no trace of the enemy. Baffled, the Ascendancy dispatches one of its brightest young military officers to root out the unseen assailants. A recruit born of no title, but adopted into the powerful family of the Mitth and given the name Thrawn.

With the might of the Expansionary Fleet at his back, and the aid of his comrade Admiral Ar’alani, answers begin to fall into place. But as Thrawn’s first command probes deeper into the vast stretch of space his people call the Chaos, he realizes that the mission he has been given is not what it seems. 

And the threat to the Ascendancy is only just beginning.

Amazing book. Amazingly written, I couldn’t put this book down.

Thalias and Patriarch Thoorak … brilliant. Skywalkers and caregivers are an interesting, separate twist - Thalias, the Mitth, and Patriarch Thoorak offer a Thrawn storyline depth that’s simply a wonderful ‘hook’. On to the second in the series, I hope to run across more. Excellent Thrawn read!

Indeed, this is bad. My first foray into the Star Wars expanded universe was not Zahn’s Original Trilogy, but that Trilogy absolutely stole my heart, mind, and imagination as a 12 year old. I read everything Zahn wrote for Star Wars (and a good bit of his other works as well). I haven’t read much of the new generation of SW books since Disney bought the rights. After feeling let down by the recent movies and even the much adored Mandalorian show, when I saw that Zahn was tasked with a new trilogy about Thrawn, well, nostalgia was doing its thing. Two hundred pages in (digitally) ... I can’t bring myself to keep going. This is dull writing. This is bad writing. It’s an endless train of “Zahn-isms” like “indeed, dryly, I presume” and more. The thrill of Thrawn in the Heir to the Empire series was the mystique and subtly and hardness that we as a reader caught in glimpses from the several well-defined and written side characters. Here, he’s somehow politically naive, yet savant-level in tune with literally everything else in the world. We’re somehow too close to him; too much of him is exposed to us; yet I still have no idea who he is. In other words, he lacks any dynamic. Beyond that, the scenes are a chore to get through. I barely understand or care about anyone’s motivations, wants, or desires. Unfortunate, as I really want Star Wars to be as good as my childhood memories of it are.

Thrawn. Pure Thrawn at his best .

Cute. Really good if you really like Thrawn

Thrawn. It’s so unbearably boring.

Fantastic. A beautiful addition to the thrown story.

The best of the new Thrawn books.. Freed from the limitations of operating in the Empire, this prequel to Thrawn’s adventures for Palpatine showcase a new side to the blue-skinned commander. Glimpses of the political structure to the Ascendancy are definitely a highlight, and watching Thrawn outmaneuver almost every obstacle is simply a delight. I couldn’t put the book down!
